Firstly I would like to thank everyone who took part in my first ever baking contest! I hope you all had as much fun making the dessert as I did holding and judging the contest. 

There was so much interest that I plan on holding more baking contests in the future as I know some of you currently have other engagements and could not enter this time round.

Onto the winners!

1st Place Overall Winner

100 points+journal feature

This was a beautiful entry on all levels, presentation, photography and creativity.  It really did tick all the boxes which I never expected, especially from someone whose gallery is filled with polymer clay food rather than the real thing!
 The presentation of the cheesecake was amazing! I love the added Oreo design on the inside the glass made out of chocolate.  Also the different flavoured Oreo's and mountain of cream on top makes it so inviting, I just want to pick out an oreo and get stuck in using the Oreo's as a spoon.

Best Photography

50 points+mini journal feature

What I loved about this photo was the inclusion of the various ingredients on the side making you know instantly what is in it without having to read the title and description.  The matching colours of the table cloth, soft lighting and positioning of all the elements too made this stand out as a winner.

Most Creative Entry

50 points+mini journal feature

This category was the hardest to judge of them all as so many of you took my basic recipe and made it your own but there can only be one winner and this had to be it.  Not only did I get one cheesecake presented a certain way but four ways in different glasses and with different topping designs, now that's creative.

Honorable mentions

The flavours of all of the following entries in particular stood out for me and deserved a mention.
